MLW Fusion Preview (4/26): Swerve vs. Havoc

Major League Wrestling returns to beIN SPORTS tonight for Week 2 of the promotion’s new weekly 1-hour series, FUSION. MLW sent in the following preview for tonight’s broadcast – we’ll have a full recap of the show up tomorrow (Saturday).

In this week’s Major League Wrestling: FUSION main event, Jimmy Havoc and World Heavyweight Champion Shane “Swerve” Strickland continue their rivalry in a match that has huge implications for the future of both grapplers.

In addition to Swerve vs. Havoc, legendary manager and promoter Colonel Robert Parker makes his return to national television on beIN SPORTS as the Stud Stable’s Dirty Blondes square off with Team TBD, made up of Jason Cade and Jimmy Yuta.

Salina de la Renta — the impresaria of Promociones Dorado — is back with another incredible matchup as remarkable rudo Garza, Jr. faces off with terrific técnico in the 22-year old Ultimo Ninja.

Will Havoc Sweep Swerve?

Jimmy Havoc owns two victories over Shane “Swerve” Strickland in MLW competition. Among those two victories was a brutal death match encounter back in January at MLW: Zero Hour. That match ended with a victorious Havoc raising the hand of Strickland in a show of respect.

But Havoc is anything but predictable. Does the aforementioned respect carry over to this week’s Major League Wrestling: FUSION main event? Does Havoc run his winning streak to three over Swerve? Will the momentum of Strickland’s recent World Heavyweight Championship victory lead him to his first MLW win over England’s Most Dangerous Man? If Havoc goes 3-0 will matchmakers sign a World Title Fight between the two?

Don’t miss this encounter that will major implications on the title landscape in Major League Wrestling!

Stud Stable Creating Tag Team Turmoil?

The Dirty Blondes cost Team TBD a victory recently and tensions are running high for Jimmy Yuta and Jason Cade, who are looking to avenge that loss.

The Dirty Blondes will have Colonel Robert Parker in their corner. The leader of the Stud Stable has never shied away from bending the rules. Will Parker be the difference in this hotly-contested tag team encounter? Or will the young team of Yuta and Cade improve their stock in the tag team division.
